Marine renewable energy systems involve single or arrays of devices that are secured to the seafloor via foundations and/or anchors. These MRE devices will transmit long-term cyclic loads to the seafloor sediment or rock, which may affect seafloor material properties and hence the overall physical performance of the MRE system. The response of seafloor sediments or rock formations is uncertain for the novel MRE systems and especially large arrays of 10s to >1000s of devices. This report summarizes critical inputs and tools for the design and analysis of foundations, anchors, and the response of the seafloor materials

Report describing the methodology and results of the simulations

This deliverable includes the proposed logistic model architecture in terms of flow charts, including data flows within the model and with other DTOcean modules and external databases and tools.

Configuration of the ocean model and biogeochemical modules

The macrofouling qualification and quantification protocols were extracted from 64 public documents (33 scientific articles, 1 book chapter, 22 internal reports, 4 internship reports and 4 theses) presenting studies conducted in France (n = 40), Europe (n = 16) and the world (n = 8).

This deliverable reports on the framework for the prediction of the reliability, economic and environmental criteria and assessment methodologies for moorings and foundations.

Monitoring data on biomass (fresh weight in air and water), biovolume, thickness.

The objective of the DiMe project was to improve the characterisation of extreme sea states with breaking waves by combining observations and modelling.

A coherent set of requirements have been developed for the DTOceanPlus suite of design tools based on analysis of gaps between tools in mature industries and those in the ocean energy industry, learning from the original DTOcean project, and the stakeholder expectations identified in the user consultation exercise. The technical requirements in this document are translated from the general requirements for the overall suite of tools, and specific requirements (functional, operational, user, interfacing, and data) for the Stage Gate design tool that will be developed as part of this project.

This document presents the first step in achieving DTOceanPlus project website’s launching.
